In nearly 30 years as a film maker, I've worked across the range of Factual programmes -- Documentaries, Investigations, Current Affairs, Sport plus Factual Entertainment & Popular Biography.

I've made more than 100 films from the deadly serious to the totally entertaining - from the rise of drugs gangs in Ireland to the war in Iraq, films about Oscar Pistorius, drug trafficking & women's rights in Saudi Arabia, major series about Margaret Thatcher, a documentary re-make of 'The Full Monty,' even a cinema-release documentary about Manchester City football club.

I've worked all over the world from San Francisco to Afghanistan with many points in-between both as a Producer/Director and also managing large teams and resources as a Series Producer & Series Director.

I also run training courses for aspiring film makers teaching them the principles and techniques of Documentary Film Making & Investigative Journalism.

My film projects have ranged from fast-turnarounds made in just a few days to films where the production has lasted many months.

I've made films for all the major UK channels and many international networks, too.

I have experience both working independently and with Reporters & Presenters across all types of content and on all the various formats. I'm an experienced self-shooter on the C300 & 5D - I have my own full kit plus Drone and am fully licensed for both the UK & EU.

My background in current affairs means I have a clear sense of story telling. And, my films combine a distinctive visual style with a real feel for the people and places involved.

My Corporate experience - Documentary and Web -- includes films for Universities, Charities and some of the UK biggest companies.
